Ingredients
1 pound asparagus, trimmed to remove woody bottoms
1-2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
1 tbsp grated or shredded parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your outdoor grill to medium heat.
Construct a tray using a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil with raised edges.
Drizzle the base of the foil tray with olive oil.
Place the trimmed asparagus in a single layer on the tray.
Sprinkle evenly with garlic salt and black pepper.
Grill for 10 minutes, turning the spears occasionally to ensure even charring.
Remove from the grill and top with finely grated parmesan cheese.
